You want to sell your black intake tubing if you get the truck inlet?

The truck hat only works if you have a front mount intercooler. Bob

Truck intake wont fit with my EPP front mount. I gained 90rwhp by removing my stock procharger inlet hat, but it didn't seem to work any better at the track with it off.

I am using one of the truck inlets for what it is worth. I was able to make a small adjustment to my driver's side piping to get it to fit.

If you can rework your intercooler piping to make room for it then it isn't a bad choice. It is a good inlet aside from the fact that it angles the filter toward the front of the car. Because of this I can't rotate it up high enough to let me get the old shrouding back on. It would be easier to get it to tuck up higher if it didn't.

I made my own, but then I have an F1 and nobody makes one.

The filter ended up right behind the opening in the front facia under the turn signal

The F-1 and F-1A have the same inlet size as the P-1SC and D-1SC. Bob

Really? I swear my F1-C is bigger than my D1SC was, so I gave my old setup to my neighbor when he installed the D1 on his car. Seems like my F1 is 4" where the D1 was 3.75"? Too bad he sold it or I'd go measure. I can't imagine I went to all the trouble to make this hat just to prove I could....but you might be right Bob. You almost always are!

The F-1 and F-1A have the same 3.75" inlet size as the P-1SC and D-1SC, the F-1C and F-1R are a little larger at an 4.00" opening. Bob
